Bronze medal for Sylvia in Portugal final

Congratulations to Sylvia Kempsell who this week came third in England Golf's Race To Woodhall Overseas Grand Final at Penina Hotel & Golf Resort, Portugal. 

Sylvia, who qualified by winning the England Captains Grand Final in Woodhall Spa earlier this year, was also top woman with 65pts over two Stableford rounds. She'd booked her place in that national final through a regional qualifier at Burhill.

There were 19 finalists in Portugal, who had all qualified through their top-three finishes at the finals of the 2023 and 2024 Race To Woodhall Spa, England Golf Captains Series and the Senior Series finals.

The winner was 13-year-old Harry Camm, from Lincolnshire. He scored 72pts on the Sir Henry Cotton Championship course from his 32 handicap. We can all be very proud of Sylvia.
